As is usually the case, there are no 'good guys' in politics.

Why won't any Arab brothers absorb the Palestinians into their countries? Why don't they want them? There's a reason. They don't like Palestinian Arabs.

Exactly...BTW didn't the West Bank originally belong to Jordan before the War? If they became a part of Jordan wouldn't they enjoy the benefits of that stable country?

What I read Jordan at one point decided against taking the land back and somehow we got into this notion of a Palestinian state.

The day after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, the terrorist group’s TV station aired a “Death to Israel” music video on its station.

“Destroy the throne of Zion – the house of absolute evil,” the song goes.

“Raise the banner of victory. Be like the fire of a volcano, and repeat in the name of jihad: Death to Israel! With blood and fire, resist until freedom. Defeat the soldiers of aggression – the enemies of humanity.”

The tune is illustrated with video of rockets being launched from Gaza, presumably into Israel, the Zionist state, as well as other war scenes.

The video aired November 22, one day after Hamas and Israel brokered a ceasefire.

Iran has loaded a ship with new missiles to replace those destroyed by Israel in Operation Pillar of Defense, the London Sunday Times reported.

The missile-laden ship was reportedly spotted by Israeli satellites. The report comes one day after de facto Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh claimed that the ceasefire agreement hammered out last week does not prohibit Hamas from manufacturing new weapons and smuggling in others, which he said Hamas needs for “defense.”

An Israel official said that Israel will destroy the missiles, regardless of the ceasefire, if Hamas tries to smuggle them in, apparently via Sudan and Egypt.

The missiles are presumed to be the Fajr-5 rockets that Hamas fired on metropolitan Tel Aviv. Israel destroyed most of Hamas’ stockpile of the medium-range missile.

Hamas went to work immediately after the ceasefire to restore smuggling tunnels that the Israeli Air Force destroyed in the eight-day Pillar of Defense counter-terrorist operation.

IMO, it would be great to see that ship blown out of the water before it reaches is destination.
